Bogalusa High School JROTC Lumberjack Battalion
Uniform Inspection/Battalion & Company Awards Ceremony/Battalion Photo
The JROTC Lumberjack Battalion Staff conducted their uniform inspection, awards ceremony, Company mottos and Battalion Photo on 24 January 2024 at 2:00. The Battalion looked so professional in their dress blue uniform known as the Army Service Uniform. The BN was also awarded their yellow star (which represents Honor Unit with Distinction (HUD) for excelling during their Program of Accreditation Inspection School Year 2022/2023 receiving a 99.5 out of 100 points. Company personnel received some of their ribbons that are not given at the big Awards Ceremony usually held in April. Awards are reflective of a Cadet's demonstrated ability to accomplish goals, achievement of excellence and recognize Cadet's untiring efforts and dedication to personal development, learning, and teamwork. This achievement reflects great credit upon yourself, the school, US Army Cadet Command, and the Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps. Dr. Eric Greely stopped by to observe the Battalion in action. After each Company gave their mottos, 1SG Rogers had the principle pick the best Company Motto and that was Alpha Company. A military motto is a symbol of each branch's history and legacy of service to this nation. Each one is distinct, demonstrating the most important values of the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard and Space Force. Here in JROTC the Companies come up with a fun saying talking about how great their Company is compared to the other ones. Mottos help build esprit de corps and adds a little fun challenge amongst the Companies and bragging rights if you have the best one like Alpha Company.

In the wake of last night's unimaginable tragedy that has befallen our school community, we find ourselves grappling with profound sorrow. Although this incident occurred off campus, it was close enough to have an adverse effect on the school event that was taking place. We value everyone's safety and concerns; the remaining home basketball games will be played away or at a neutral site. As a resilient community, we will rise above the grief that weighs heavily on our hearts. Let us channel our sorrow into a shared commitment to support one another so we can heal and emerge stronger and more compassionate by standing united.
As a precaution, we will provide extra security for Bogalusa High School when school resumes on Tuesday, and grief counselors will be available for staff and students.
The Lumberjack family extends our sympathy and condolences to the students' families. We appreciate the phone calls, emails, and support from school districts, citizens, and stakeholders.
Dr. Byron C. Hurst, Ed.D.
Superintendent
The Bogalusa City Schools family is deeply saddened to inform our school community of the tragic incident that occurred during a basketball game tonight, resulting in the loss of one of our students and the injury of another one. Our thoughts, prayers, and condolences go out to the family and friends affected by this devastating loss. Our top priorities are the well-being and safety of our students and spectators, and we are working closely with local authorities to investigate the circumstances surrounding this incident. To the Covington Lions, your safety was our top priority, and we appreciate your patience. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to everyone impacted by this tragedy and will do everything possible to assist and support those in need.
Mr. Magic, Buffy Coleman, spoke to our students today. He is a former player for the Harlem Wizards basketball team. He introduced NBA (Never Be Absent), a campaign to help promote attendance in school. He explained how
people that succeed work hard, even when it is difficult or not easy. He encouraged students to find something they like to do, and they will be more likely to succeed.
Attendance matters! We appreciate our parents and guardians that ensure their students attend school daily. There is a strong relationship between attendance and academics!
